Behringer BC1500 Drum Microphone Set — Studio and Live Coverage for a Full Kit

The Behringer BC1500 is a complete 7-piece drum microphone package designed for drummers, producers, and live engineers who want a matched, ready-to-go rig without buying mics one at a time. This set covers every voice in a standard five-piece kit, from kick through to overheads, and arrives in a heavy-duty carry case ready for the studio or the stage.

What Sets the BC1500 Apart in Its Tier

What makes this bundle stand out is the inclusion of the C112 — a large-diaphragm dynamic capsule tuned specifically for kick drums, modeled in spirit on classic kick-mic designs. The two CM1500 overhead condensers add genuine versatility with a built-in 10 dB pad and low-frequency roll-off, letting players tame proximity effect or tame loud cymbals without external EQ.

Microphone Configuration and Capsule Types

Each mic in the BC1500 is voiced for its specific job, so drummers spend less time tweaking and more time tracking. The mix of dynamic and condenser capsules covers both close-mic punch and airy overhead capture in one bundle.

• Kick Mic (C112): Large-diaphragm dynamic capsule — delivers the thump and attack bass drums need, with positioning flexibility toward the beater or the resonant head
• Tom/Snare Mics (4× TM1500): Medium-diaphragm dynamic capsules — capture the body and snap of each shell when clipped to the drum hoop
• Overhead Mics (2× CM1500): Small-diaphragm condenser capsules — pick up cymbals, hi-hats, and overall kit dimension with a cardioid polar pattern

Power, Pattern, and Practical Specs

Because the overheads are true condensers, the set needs 48 V phantom power on at least two mixer channels — a small trade-off for the detail they add to cymbals and room sound. The cardioid pattern on every mic helps reject bleed from neighboring drums on a tight stage.

• Polar Pattern: Cardioid across all seven mics — focused pickup that reduces stage bleed
• Phantom Power: 48 V required for the CM1500 overhead condensers to operate
• Overhead Switching: Built-in 10 dB pad and low-frequency roll-off on the CM1500s for loud cymbals or proximity control
• Included Accessories: Windscreens for overheads, drum-hoop clamps for the TM1500s, 5/8" threaded adapters, and a rugged die-cast carry case

Who the Behringer BC1500 Is For

The Behringer BC1500 is the right choice for home recordists, weekend drummers, and small-venue sound engineers who need a complete, matched drum mic rig at an accessible price. It suits players setting up their first home studio, schools and rehearsal rooms outfitting a shared kit, and gigging bands that want a single grab-and-go case for every show. Anyone moving up from a 2- or 4-piece starter pack will appreciate having dedicated mics for kick, four shells, and a stereo overhead pair — without the cost of buying premium brands piece by piece.

Behringer and the BC1500 Line

Behringer built the BC1500 as a step up from its entry-level drum mic kits, pairing a beefy C112 kick mic with the TM1500 and CM1500 families for fuller coverage. The set ships in a metal-trunk-style case with latches and a handle, sized to keep all seven mics, clamps, and windscreens together between sessions.
